Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Deep within the Yan God Mystic Realm, a cluster of void palaces.

At the highest point, in the main hall.

A colossal divine figure sat upon a throne, its form soaring tens of thousands of kilometers into the sky, even the air expelled from its breath igniting the surrounding void into bursts of flame.

The black horn at the center of its brow pierced straight into the firmament, seemingly threatening to rupture the heavens themselves.

Dense, black scales covered its entire body, reflecting a chilling glint in the firelight.

Imposing, sturdy, and unbreakable... this terrifying defense, beyond description, could leave even the most formidable universe overlords in despair.

“Dong~ Dong~ Dong~”

His thick, powerful knuckles rhythmically tapped the armrest of the throne, his eyes, burning with black flames, piercing through the void as if trying to lock onto the figure of Lin Ye flying from afar.

“Such a powerful aura… Could it be that my Yan God race has a guest arriving?”

“And… from the human race???”

“…”

“What audacity, daring to intrude upon my Yan God race's territory alone, I wonder if it is a case of youthful ignorance or sheer stupidity.”

The Yan Emperor continued to tap the throne's armrest, a surge of powerful energy emanating from his eyes, seemingly attempting to discern the newcomer's trajectory.

However.

To his surprise, all he could perceive was a trail of afterimages, unable to make out even the visitor's features.

Even he could only barely discern, from the aura emanating from the figure, that it originated from the human race.

“Not simple at all… this human powerhouse exudes mystery from the inside out, I wonder who it is?”

“Lord of Ice Peak, Lord of Dragon Travel, or perhaps Lord of Darkness?”

The Yan Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, the names of these human powerhouses simultaneously surfacing in his mind.

As for the strongest, City Lord of Chaos… he would never stoop to such clandestine behavior, he would come openly and honestly.

As a universe master… he could perceive and sense spatial fluctuations from vast distances, effortlessly taking in all spatial disturbances within tens of millions of light-years.

In fact, if he so desired, his perception of space could extend infinitely, without end…

However, these fluctuations were of several types, some gently rippling like water, others like tidal waves stirred up by a boulder… nothing escaped his senses.

Yet, Lin Ye was an exception.

His teleportation through space was completely different from that of other powerhouses.

If others sensed the gaps in space and used them to teleport,

Then Lin Ye's teleportation was purely the result of space actively opening a passage.

The active passage allowed him to enter at will, traversing freely.

The two were simply not on the same level.

Thus, the sensation it gave the Yan Emperor was akin to a vacuum passage abruptly forming within the vast ocean, with that figure rapidly approaching.

“Impressive! To have reached such a level of comprehension of the laws of space!!”

The towering Yan Emperor sensed this from afar, already somewhat shocked, but not overly so.

If he wished, he could forcibly create such a spatial passage.

But passively achieving it was entirely different from actively forming a spatial passage.

The towering figure on the throne slowly rose, gazing into the distance at the approaching figure: “I am increasingly eager to know who you are!?”

Rumble!!!

Before the person arrived, the aura moved first.

The majestic aura swept towards the Yan Emperor, overwhelming the sky and earth, obliterating all perception along the way.

“What!?”

The Yan Emperor's expression abruptly changed as he sensed this aura, his voice deepening as he said: “Daring to intrude upon my Yan God race is one thing, but to brazenly test me like this! You are truly audacious beyond measure!!”

Immediately, layers upon layers of light converged upon the Yan Emperor's enormous black horn, like a charging laser cannon.

“Boom!!”

A black-red beam of light instantly erupted, leaving a dazzling passage across the space for countless millions of kilometers.

At the same time.

The Yan God race members, startled by this scene, simultaneously looked up, their gazes rapidly shifting from the core of the palace complex to another location, deeply shocked.

“Lord Yan Emperor, has made a move??”

A Yan God race universe venerable exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with shock.

“Impossible, Lord has not made a move for so many years, I wonder who has angered him.”

Another venerable followed, also appearing somewhat incredulous.

“Let's just watch and see, the battles between the big shots are for us to observe.”

“Yes, let's just watch honestly.”

“…”

One universe venerable after another emerged from their respective palaces, gazing into the distance at this scene.

“No need to test.”

Lin Ye chuckled softly.

With a light wave of his hand, an invisible wave unfurled into a screen, directly engulfing the black beam of light.

“…How is this possible, to so easily neutralize my probing attack.”

The Yan Emperor was shocked, but his face showed no sign of panic.

“Yan Emperor, the human race's 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' has come to visit, I request an audience.”

Lin Ye stood in the void, shouting loudly towards the front.

“Yan Emperor, the human race's 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' has come to visit, I request an audience.”

“The human race's 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' has come to visit, I request an audience.”

“I request an audience!!”

“An audience!!!”

“…”

The mighty sound waves directly tore apart the Yan Emperor's spatial blockade, dissolving his second probing attack.

“The human race's 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations'?? Could it be the guy who killed the Lord of Heavenly Wolf.”

Since the Yan God race had separated from the human race, several other peak races had successively come to persuade them to join, thus he had contact with the higher-ups of various races.

Therefore, he was also very knowledgeable about the major events that occurred within the demon race.

Upon first hearing of the fall of the Lord of Heavenly Wolf, the Yan Emperor had thought that the former had deliberately said so in order to escape his enemies.

Later, with the simultaneous announcement of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shock Demon Ancestor, the Yan Emperor finally understood that this matter had truly occurred.

The Lord of Heavenly Wolf, whose life-saving methods were almost as good as his own, had really fallen!!

At this thought, a hint of apprehension arose in the Yan Emperor's heart.

What exactly was the Lord of a Thousand Tribulations doing here today!?

Killing people and seizing treasures?

Or perhaps destroying his Yan God race!?

Or something else…

One thought after another appeared in the Yan Emperor's mind, but in the end, they were all forcibly suppressed by him.

He believed that he was not in any danger.

The reason was simple.

He was a disciple of the universe's strongest, Mountain Guest, no one would dare to kill him and incur the wrath of Mountain Guest.

Besides… he had no past grievances or recent grudges with the Lord of a Thousand Tribulations, how could they possibly engage in a life-and-death struggle upon meeting!?

He had merely led the Yan God race to secede from the human race… this was merely his choice, everyone had the right to choose.

“This son has such formidable strength, could he be another disciple that Mountain Guest has taken in? But before the Lord of Heavenly Wolf died, I had never heard of such an existence as the 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations'?”

A trace of apprehension flashed deep within the Yan Emperor's eyes.

At his level, there were basically not many enemies he feared.

However, Mountain Guest was one of them!

And one of the top three terrifying existences.

Although when he became Mountain Guest's disciple, the latter had placed the 'Origin Soul', 'Tribulation Armor', and 'Yan God Halberd' with him, the 'Tribulation Armor', with its highest defense, was prepared for his third disciple.

He was merely a temporary custodian.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the Yan Emperor even couldn't help but curse inwardly: “Damn Mountain Guest, since you were going to create us and take me as a disciple, why did you have to torment us so much, isn't this clearly showing that you dislike us!”

Originally fearless, he had become timid and hesitant because of Mountain Guest's existence, the Yan Emperor had been holding a large amount of resentment in his heart from beginning to end.

If not for this, he would not have plotted against the universe master who was then also part of the human race for a supreme treasure, and then, after a great battle, broken away from the human race, completely seceding.

In the end, it was still because he was too extreme!

Relying on several supreme treasures… the Yan Emperor considered himself to be at the peak of the universe masters, no one could completely obliterate his divine body, they could only suppress him harshly.

However, once one reached the level of universe master, it was a different world.

They could easily change the laws, thereby achieving absolute control over an area.

However, the stronger the strength, the greater the suppression from the laws of the universe, so the strength displayed was only at the peak universe master level.

“Hmph! I don't believe it, even the Giant Axe Founder doesn't dare to anger me, how dare this 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' do anything to me?”

“If you have the ability, then just kill me directly!!”

The towering figure sat back on the throne, quietly waiting for Lin Ye's arrival.

…

“Rumble!!”

An ancient long blade, wrapped in terrifying divine power, tore through space, rapidly magnifying in the Yan Emperor's dark red eyes, instantly occupying his entire field of vision.

Just feeling the power of this blade, the Yan Emperor couldn't help but feel despair.

A newly born universe master… how could he be so strong?!

Just this level of powerful divine power was already no less than that of Mountain Guest.

“Peng!”

In a muffled slashing sound, the Yan Emperor was sent flying tens of millions of kilometers away.

On the Tribulation Armor in front of him, a deep white mark also appeared.

At this moment, the leader of the Yan God race experienced the despair of the Lord of Heavenly Wolf.

With such a large gap in combat power, even he didn't have much power to resist.

If not for the super effect of the Tribulation Armor being able to greatly reduce the attack, just that one blade would have been enough to consume at least five percent of his divine body.

Suppressing the rolling and surging energy, the Yan Emperor saw for the first time someone who could erupt with such terrifying divine power at the universe master level.

This power seemed to greatly restrain supreme treasures like the Tribulation Armor, which could reduce attack power, causing great damage to him through it.

“Where did the Lord of a Thousand Tribulations come from, the battle blade in his hand must be a battle blade that transcends supreme treasures, that is… a supreme treasure!”

At this thought, the Yan Emperor couldn't help but feel agitated, the apprehension in his eyes quickly dissipating.

Replaced by.

Was a fiery covetousness.

If he got this battle blade, what Origin Soul, Yan God Halberd… would all have to step aside!

“Is that all? You, the number one figure of the Yan God race, your strength is only this much?”

Lin Ye slowly sheathed his blade, holding the Extinction Blade in his hand, the terrifying divine power burning on his body also receding like a tide: “Truly some trash!”

“Knowing it was death, the Lord of Heavenly Wolf dared to fight me head-on!”

“I didn't expect that here with you, Yan Emperor… you would only hide and dodge, not daring to attack head-on!”

“…” Lin Ye's words were very direct, but they also deeply stimulated the Yan Emperor on the opposite side.

“Damn it!! Is it that I don't want to attack? With your way of burning divine power, who dares to fight you head-on?”

“I barely managed to hold on by relying on my physique and the Tribulation Armor's reduction power, if I really fought you, I'm afraid the speed of divine body consumption would be extremely terrifying!”

“The battle would not be over, and my divine power would be completely burned out!”

Of course, the Yan Emperor could only say these words in his heart, not daring to say them directly.

“Since you are actively being a tortoise, then take another blade from me.”

Lin Ye aimed at the Yan Emperor, who was shrouded in a layer of black light, and immediately took a step.

Hua!!

The spatial blockade shattered like thin paper, Lin Ye arrived in front of the Yan Emperor in one step.

Even facing the Yan Emperor, who had three supreme treasures in his hand, he was not afraid in the slightest.

When enemies meet on a narrow road, the strong win!

And he, was the stronger side!

“So fast! This comprehension of the laws of space…”

The Yan Emperor was shocked, this Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' speed and comprehension of the laws were too terrifying.

Completely crushing him!

If not for sensing that the latter's aura was still below the universe's strongest, he would have suspected that some big shot was disguised to 'bully' him.

“Hua!!!”

The blade light was like a tide, Lin Ye only swung one blade.

A seemingly ordinary blade, falling into the Yan Emperor's eyes, made the latter's soul fly away.

No other.

The nine terrifying law fluctuations made it impossible for the Yan God Halberd in his hand to block it.

“Really! Too aggrieved!!”

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Yan Emperor cursed fiercely.

When he used to rampage through the universe with the Yan God Halberd, many universe masters did not dare to resist head-on, they could only rely on the means of using softness to overcome hardness to deal with him.

And now… the blazing blade light was like the most dazzling existence in this void, his supreme treasure Yan God Halberd was immediately overshadowed.

This… was Lin Ye's almost full-strength blade under the urging and blessing of the Chaotic Source Codex.

“Puchi!!”

A crisp tearing sound rang out, the Extinction Blade penetrated the layer of thick Tribulation Armor burning with divine power, cutting open the Yan Emperor's already thick scales, and fiercely plunged into his body.

Entered from the front chest, penetrated the back.

“As expected of the Tribulation Armor, this defense is simply top-notch, it only annihilated less than half of the Yan Emperor's divine body!!”

Lin Ye could clearly feel the power of his blade raging in the Yan Emperor's body, destroying his divine body.

But the Yan Emperor was not willing to do so, while burning his divine power to resist with all his might, he also urged the Tribulation Armor to help reduce this raging power.

In the end, Lin Ye's full-power strike only managed to eliminate two and a half portions of the Blazing Emperor's divine body,

and then its power dissipated completely…
